I arrived at my forever home on Saturday, March 7th and boy have I had fun ever since. My snuggles and hugs have been never ending and I’ve had so many walks on the trails, I’m completely tuckered out at the end of the day.
I get to sleep wherever I want to, so I’ve been experimenting on every bed in the house! My humans said they are so impressed with my manners and how fast I learn new things, that they are going to teach me some new commands!
I think they really love me, because they tell me that over and over every day! I’m a lucky boy! Oh yeah, even my fur golden sister and feline sister get along with me, so I must be a good boy!
I’ll keep you posted on all my silly antics! Love, Max

I’m going home! I was born in Iowa, raised in Minnesota, and am now heading back to Iowa. I have a NEW family and they have a girlfriend for me! I didn’t mind my brothers, but she is much prettier!
I understand my yard is going to be larger and we are near trails, so we get to do lots of walking. I love my new humans, too; they like to give pets and hold me and get down on the ground and let me snuggle with them.
We get to go to the lake this summer and do some swimming! What more could a dog ask for?? I am a lucky, happy dog!

Foster Dad finally took me out for a road trip and we went to Doggie Depot (Union Depot) in St. Paul. Okay, I made it a bit hard for Foster Dad to get inside; there were so many cousins out and about I of course wanted to say “Hi” to all of them. When we did get inside, we went straight to the RAGOM booth where I go lots of attention. I really like getting attention!
Foster Dad was really happy with my (well, most of my) behavior. What can I say? I was happy to see the guy who brought me here, and yes, I tried to hug more than one other person, but I’m a lover!
Foster Dad said I’ve had a couple applicants quit on me when they hear I like to protect my food. I just growl if my humans get too close when I'm eating. It is never a good idea to pet a dog while he’s eating or try to take food away from a dog, so Foster Dad just leaves me alone to enjoy my food and we have no issues. I don't guard anything else though.
Foster Dad also wants me to mention that it was “reported” that I have an excited bladder and that I “may” have leaked a little occasionally in my old house. I will neither confirm nor deny that, but I am proud to say I have had no accidents here.
I also have another Foster Brother to play with and we get along great. So, I wouldn’t mind having a buddy to play with in my forever home. At the same time, heck, if I can have all the attention that’s not going to break my heart either.
I am looking for a family that likes long walks as I have a lot of energy to burn off! Foster Dad has been happy that I am getting better on my walks with not pulling. Although I do get excited to see, well, anything or anyone else when we are out walking.
Foster Dad has been petting me on occasion with these special gloves on. My foster brother Heath gets excited when he sees him wearing them, and I am starting to like them a little bit. Foster Dad thinks someone may have been a bit rough with me in the past in grooming me. What can I say I’m a sensitive guy!
Foster Dad would like to remind you that as a Goldendoodle I will have more frequent grooming needs and at a higher cost—just something to think about when you’re thinking of bringing me into your home.
So again, if you want to meet me or learn more about me, apply and talk to my Foster Dad and we will see if we can arrange a meeting. In other words, have your people call my people!

Hello… is this thing on? Okay, I… uhm, Max is what I guess you humans call me, want to get my web page set up. A quick bit about me physically: I am a sandy blonde Goldendoodle and 62 pounds of love machine.
I really like my foster dad and my brother Heath, so I wouldn’t be too unhappy if I got stuck here. But I think I can do better, at least with my human! Okay, yes, I really like the twice daily walks. We get to take the human typically about six-plus miles a day between the two walks.
Foster Dad says that while it helps burn up some of my energy, he is amazed at how much I still love our playtime of chasing the ball in the backyard after our walks. On the one hand, I would like someone who moves a bit faster, but at the same time, I really do like to stop and sniff the… well, whatever!
Foster Dad says he should work with me more on the heel command. I know the command and understand what he wants with it, but I would rather hunt, and Foster Dad is pretty good about allowing me to do so. I am going to need a very active family—one of the reasons I came into RAGOM is that I was bored at my old home.
I am well educated! I did a lot of schooling and I know lots of your human requests—you call them commands—but let’s face it, who’s really in charge here? Foster Dad says I am very smart, but perhaps a bit obstinate, preferring to do what I want to do.
I am aware of what a kennel is, I just prefer not to be in there. Foster Dad had me use it the first several days during the time he wasn’t here, but he quickly came to understand I am a good boy with free roam.
Foster Dad says he is not sure about the “come” command, as I normally stick close, unless of course he puts me in a stay. I don’t have a lot of patience for the stay request, though.
Foster Dad says he is also quite happy with the way my brother and I get along. Sure, there have been a couple of shouting matches, but they were early on when I might have tried to take his food. I do have a bit of a food/treat obsession, but with toys and such we are very good at taking turns.
We have also hosted a guest here a few times who I enjoy playing with. I am not thrilled when he tries to dominate the human’s attention, but Foster Dad is pretty good about petting all of us equally.
I had a cat companion in my previous home, which amazes Foster Dad, as I have a pretty strong prey (I prefer PLAY) drive.
Children, I love children! Heck, I love everybody! However, Foster Dad says I really, really need to work on my greeting. I like to stand up like you humans and give you a hug. Foster Dad worries that I would wipe out a child or maybe even scare someone.
Well, I think that might be enough for a start. Let my good friends at RAGOM know if you would be interested in getting to know me a bit better!
